MasterISO v2.1 Package - August 8th, 1998
=========================================

· Changed various text items inorder to bring them into conformance
with the capitalization rules.

· Fixed default tool for install disk icon.

· Implemented work-around for Kickstart v39; the labels for the CD-ROM
Information in the 'CD to CD-R/RW Copy' window would not appear.

· In the 'System Check - CD-R/RW drive project', the selected 'Write speed'
was being ignored.  Behavior is now corrected to utilize the 
indicated speed.

· Fixed track-length problem when trying to write a track from a source
that is less than the minimum track length.

· Minimum track length is changed to 4 seconds, in conformance with 
the RedBook standard.

· Fixed problem when deleting a directory from the FileManager/CD-ROM
project; it may have resulted in a Guru upon saving the project 
or incorrect values in the Validate File names window.

· Fixed problem when aborting the 'Add Files' process that may have
resulted in an improper file count.

· In the "Target Disc Size" section, changed the 18 minute disc to 
a 21 minute disc.

· Fixed memory leak after generating an ISO volume with deep directories
and/or entries replaced with existing multisession entries.






CD-R/RW Engine v1.1
-------------------

· Added detection of the Philips 3610 ATAPI CD-R/RW drive.  Firmware
level v2.x is recommended.

· Compensated for the Philips 3610/HP 7100 drives returning table of
contents data in non-BCD format.

· Fixed detection of CD-R capacity for Sony 92x drives when there is
a CD-ROM disc in the drive.

· Fixed handling of zero-length index #0's when writing in Disc-At-Once
mode with the TEAC, JVC and some Pinnacle drives.  Revision 1.0G of
TEAC's firmware is recommended to accompany this fix.

· Improved handling of read and write speeds for the TEAC, JVC and
Pinnacle series of drives.

· Added detection for the Pinnacle RCD4X4 and RCD4X12 CD-R drives and
the Pinnacle RCDW226 CD-RW drive.

· Added detection of the Memorex CRW620 CD-RW drive.

· When automatically converting from mono to stereo via the Audio
Manager, automatic byte re-ordering was done on only half of the
sample rather than the full sample.

· Due to an interpretation problem with the ATAPI standard, some
CD-ROM manufacturers are incorrectly formatting table-of-contents
data.  This may lead to MasterISO identifying tracks with negative
lengths and other undesirable qualities.  MasterISO will now attempt
to detect this condition.

· Added detection of the Traxdata CDRW4260 Pro CD-RW drive.

· Sony SCSI CD-R drives require a minimum track length of 4 seconds.
MasterISO will now check for this condition prior to beginning the
write operation.

· Added support for the TEAC line of CD-ROM drives.

· Added detection of the JVC XR-W2001 and the XR-W2020 CD-R drives.

· When supplying a CDTV or CD32 trademark file, the accompanying
system identifier of "CDTV" was not automatically added, resulting
in an un-bootable disc.  MasterISO will now automatically add this
identifier.

· Updated detection method used for JVC and TEAC drives when inquiring
about the capacity of the CD-R disc.  Previous behavior may have
included reporting CD-ROM discs as containing writable capacity.

· Added support for the Mitsumi CR-2801TE CD-R drive.

· When doing a multiple copies of a disc, the engine will now check
to see if there is a blank CD-R disc present in the CD-R drive.
Previous action was to always ask first before checking.

· It is now possible to abort a procedure while the engine is checking
for a CD-ROM/R/RW disc.  This usually happens during the "Examining
disc type" operation.

· Added support for the JVC XR-W2040 series of CD-RW drives.

· Updated multisession writing strategy for the TEAC series of CD-R
drives to fix problem with writing subsequent sessions on a multisession
disc.  In conjunction with this fix, we recommend using firmware version
1.0J with the TEAC CD-R55 and version 1.0G with the TEAC CD-R50.

· Added support for the Nakamichi line (beginning with the MBR-7.4)
of CD-ROM changers.

· Added detection of the HP 7200 CD-RW Drive.

· Added support for data Disc-At-Once recording for the Philips CDD2600,
CDD2000 and the Ricoh 1420 CD-R drives.

· Added detection of the Traxdata series of CD-R/RW drives.

· Improved task-cleanup to avoid rare deadlock conditions upon cleanup.

· Added support for the Panasonic CW-7502 CD-R drive.  Firmware version
of at least 4.10 is recommended.

· Added detection of the Smart and Friendly series of CD-R/RW drives.

· Implemented an 'approximate time remaining' display for CD-R/RW writing.

· Implemented a work-around for ATAPI-bus timeouts when doing
a full erase with the Yamaha 4001 CD-RW drive.

· Fixed handling of blank CD-R disc detection for the JVC 2001 and
2020 CD-R drives.  Previous action prevented detection of CD-R discs.

· Added support for the Sony CDU948 CD-R drive.

· Forced CDDA extraction support for the Pioneer DR-A12X ATAPI CD-ROM
drive.

· Fixed handling of multisession file names:  the Rock Ridge long
file names were not preserved during a multisession image build.

· Added detection of the Memorex CRW-1622 CD-RW drive.

· Fixed incorrect setting of 1x reading and writing speeds for SCSI 3
and ATAPI MMC CD-ROM and CD-R/RW drives.

· Added detection for the Yamaha CRW2216 and CRW4216 SCSI and ATAPI
CD-R/RW drives.

· After an error closing a track or disc, the engine may have
incorrectly reported back 'Operation was successful' to the user.
This condition is now fixed.

· Fixed a situation where the engine may have looped after
detecting a buffer underrun situation using the Yamaha 4260 series
of CD-R/RW drives.

· Compensated for Sony ATAPI CD-ROM drives returning table of
contents data in non-BCD format.

· Fixed situation in generating an ISO volume with deep directories
and/or entries replaced with existing multisession entries combined
with writing multiple copies on-the-fly or doing a simulated write
followed by a real write that may have resulted in items being
removed from the file list for the second and subsequent writes.

Please note that the alternate language translations provided with
MasterISO are considerably longer than their English equivalents.

In order to use these translations, you will need to select either a
smaller font (ie. ThinpazB by Daniel Mealha Cabrita) or a screen
resolution of at least 800x600.

If you install any of the catalogue files with the MasterISO installer,
your MasterISO will be setup to use the ThinpazB font as a default.

We would like to extend a special thank you to Daniel Mealha Cabrita
for allowing us to include the ThinpazB font with MasterISO 2.

We would also like to thank Sascha Hoogen for providing the German
translation and Francesco Dipietromaria for providing the Italian
translation.
